Let me ask this question.......If you had certain interests which could be promoted by favorable American reaction to an event, would you not actively try to achieve that goal?
If you knew that to create a film that would inflame a known population, and that the reaction would put them in total in a bad light with the American Public, would you not try to actively achieve that goal?
If a President and a State Department put American national interest above other nation's national interests, would you not try to sway public opinion to meet your perceived national interests?
If you were a nation who never had a true day of peace since 1948, and who is facing real threats from Iran, would you not work in every way to protect your national interest?
If a popular ambassador who was making great strides to connect to the Libyan people and bring a once hostile nation to the United States into a uncertain alliance, would those goals necessarily be the same for a nation who must paint all muslim nations as radicals who are a threat to America, in order to have mirror image interests?
I know what I would do if I was a policy maker in Israel. I would not allow the risk of Iran to be uncertain. I would do whatever was necessary to bring the United States to a war footing......including but not limited to coordinating and instigating an attack on that Ambassador, and making sure my fingerprints were not on those actions. No, I am not talking about T's theories, but I am talking about common sense geopolitical realities which have not changed in a thousand years, and the tactics which achieve those goals.
Am I saying that Israel is responsible for the attack in Libya. No, I am not. However, it would be just as reckless to deny that overreaction to this incident and other coordinated attacks on American embassies has certain political advantages for the creation of this monolithic threat where suddenly our national interest is a mirror image of Israel's national interest, when in fact they are not mirror images. Lets investigate the creation of this film. Where did the money come from? Lets investigate the attacks in Libya, and dig deeper than the surface......we need to get the people responsible for this cowardice, and we will, but like an onion, my prediction is that this will be multi layered and not an accident.
